The Junior Land Stewards Program is excited to welcome the new program manager, Haley Peterson. Haley was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Calgary and worked as field assistant in the Northwest Territories, and the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It was here that she developed a passion for the environment and renewable energy which pushed her to pursue a career in environmentalism. Haley's hobbies are gardening, hiking and looking after her chickens and bees along with her husband and two children. Her newfound passion is horticulture - CA natives, plant ID and protecting native habitats. Haley is thrilled to help the CLT fulfill their mission of protecting open spaces and spreading stewardship awareness throughout the community and especially through future generations.

There is a lot of growth ahead in this upcoming school year, and the Junior Land Stewards Program will be expanding to work with the fourth graders of El Granada elementary school, in addition to Alvin Hatch elementary. The Half Moon Bay high school students will continue to serve as the essential field guides for this program. Stay tuned for updates on all of the good work these Junior Land Stewards will be doing once the school year gets rolling, with Haley Peterson and Barbara Lohman at the helm.
